1995 Warwick Streamer Bolt-On 5-String £1300 Moreton In Marsh

[40hz]

Hi All,

 

Here we have my 1995 Warwick Streamer Bolt-On. Selling as I want to move back to 4's.

 

These were a higher end precursor to the LX series, that have the original, and much curvier body shape just like the Stage 2. 

 

It was built in May/June of 1995 in Germany. Has a French Cherry Wood body, 7-piece laminate neck of Maple and Bubinga stringers with a Wenge fingerboard replete with Bell Brass frets.

 

Pickups are twin MEC Jazz pickups with a 2-Band MEC preamp with push/pull passive switching.

 

Tonally it's got bags of that growl as you would expect, with a very focused/compressed tone - in short, the Warwick tone. The treble control acts to my ears more like a tone control, from piercingly hi-fi and trebly to the smoother punchier sound a la Stuart Zender.

 

Condition is 8.5 out of 10. It's a 30 year old bass but has worn it's miles incredibly well, You'd struggle to find a Warwick of this age in equally as good condition. Only thing to report is some slight shrinkage of the maple in the neck which means the middle Bubinga stringer in the neck, near the headstock, sits about a half a MM proud - again, super common with Warwicks, all my others have had this. 

 

It's recently had £400 spent getting it road ready, with a brand new setup, brand new truss rod, fret work and new input jack.

 

Weight is a superb 3.8kg

 

Does not come with a case.

 

Collection from Moreton in Marsh located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily drive wherever for a handover if required. My feedback attests to this! I won't post due to value and poor previous experiences in doing so.

 

Any further questions please ask!

 

Thanks for looking!
